I’m a multidisciplinary designer specializing in branding and identity systems. Currently, I’m a grad student in RISD’s Graphic Design MFA as part of the class of 2024.
By “multidisciplinary,” I mean that I bring animation, websites, sound design, code, and more to each project, with everything done in-house (by me).
By “branding and identity systems,” I mean the visual language of your company—how you communicate with your audience through all platforms and mediums, print or digital.

Gabriel has elevated our branding with designs that often exceed the creative brief and surpass our expectations.
We have yet to encounter a project that is beyond his skill set. His work is thoughtful and inventive; our collaboration is engaging and rewarding—and the resulting designs are beautiful and impactful.
Josh Martinez-Nelson
Director of Development & Communications
Williamstown Theatre Festival
What Gabriel brings to any project is more than just a refined aesthetic eye.
His work illustrates a unique understanding of communication and engagement that audiences have with design. He is able to synthesize a brand’s identity, communications goals, style and intention into designs which are effortless to engage with, eye-catching, and nuanced. Not to mention you will never encounter a designer capable of working faster!
